Thanks to everyone who came out to swap and sell parts, hang out, and ride motorcycles. We had a real good turnout throughout the day Sunday, lots of people drug their old parts out, lots rode in, and we had a great time hanging out. So much so that I took one single photo, so I had to steal these off of our Facebook page, and most of them off the Forever The Chaos Life blog, thanks guys! Check out all the photos in an album on our Facebook page here. We are aiming to do this again this fall before the weather turns to crap, stay tuned.

Progress Drive, Medina, Ohio 44256. Our driveway is loose gravel, and super sketchy, so take it easy coming in or you won't be the first to have ate gravel!

"Hey man, thought you might enjoy these pics of my xs650 that I built with alot of parts, help and advice from you guys. I built the thing in my basement over the winter and rode her from Portland to Born Free and back, it was insane. Anyway I did most the work myself including paint but also a ton of help from my friends Mike, Murph, and Chase. Thanks for answering all my questions with the quickness and hope to see yall again at BF5...if there is one....
Cheers,
-Josh Ramp"

Kyle's race bike just got fired up for the first type. He is getting it dyno'd by Stan at Northern Ohio Ducati Triumph on Friday morning, so expect more video and updates then. My dual engine bike is too long for the dang dyno!

Brian over at Speed Club Inc. is putting on a ride September 8th & 9th, 2012 in St. Paul, Minnesota. We are all about riding events and are happy to support The Wild Ride. Riding with your friends and camping is the reason most people get motorcycles, and here is a perfect weekend to exercise those desires. Get the scoop here.

I don't think I have put Vance's Triumph up on the site before, but it is one of my favorites and happens to be local and belongs to a friend of mine right here in northeast Ohio. I first saw this bike when it was all bare steel and didn't have the fancy paint (Angel Dust Cycle Paint / Joe Koenigsmark) or beautiful chrome and polish job (Jason's Show Quality Polishing). The chrome loop on the hardtail is killer. Maybe Vance will chime in with some details..

Finned Stator & Sprocket Covers for modern Triumphs (fits 2001-2011 Triumph Bonneville (T100), Thruxton, Scrambler, America and Speedmaster model) are now in stock in raw as well as black powdercoat. Top quality, made in California.

I just sorted out donations from Lowbrow Customs customers for the 2nd
quarter of 2012. Donations come from rounding up your total to a whole
number, the spare change going to a charity of your choice. Pretty good
tallies, with $1417.90 going to Wounded Warrior Project, $974.38 to Room To Read, and $176.02 to DonorsChoose.org! Thanks for all your support
and helping to make the world a better place, a little bit at a time.

The photo above is from a classroom who received a new easel and art supplies from our donations via DonorsChoose. It always amuses me to see little kids writing out 'Lowbrow Customs' and such in the thank you letters, funny stuff.

This video was filmed last week, on Monday, June 25th. It is the first time Double Vision, my dual engine land speed race bike, was fired up after several months of intense fabrication and wrenching. About an hour later this bike was loaded into our truck and hauled out (thanks Greg!) to Born Free 4 where it made it's debut this past weekend.
